In a truly heartwarming display of economic justice, politicians are finally offering up valuable tax breaks to a class of workers who really, truly deserve a little help:
Highly paid athletes.
If you happen to be a star college player in Mississippi, good news, you may soon be exempt from paying state income tax on your direct revenue sharing and NIL earnings. Yes, you can make millions and owe nothing.
As for the cops, first responders, teachers, plumbers, bartenders, baristas, fellow college students trying to cover their own tuition or really, any other worker in Mississippi ... well, sorry, you are out of luck.
